Five Steps to Ownership
We've refined this process over 30+ years to set every franchisee up for success. Here's exactly what to expect at each stage.
Initial Call with Andrew
Your journey begins with a real conversation — not a script. Andrew Scherzer, our Partner and Director of Franchise Development, walks you through the opportunity, answers your questions, and assesses whether there's a mutual fit.
Complete Application
We review your financials, target markets, and background. This is how we ensure the partnership is right for both sides — we're looking for alignment in values, capability, and vision, not just checking boxes.
FDD Review via Zoom
Daryl Dollinger, our Partner and President, joins Andrew to walk you through the Franchise Disclosure Document in detail. Every fee, obligation, and financial performance metric — laid out transparently so you can make a fully informed decision.
Discovery Day
Meet the executive team in person. Visit a high-performing unit. Review real POS data. Talk to current operators. See the brand, taste the food, and get every question answered before you commit.
Signed Agreement
We move quickly for partners who are ready. Once Discovery Day is complete, we finalize the franchise agreement with clear timelines and mutual accountability — then begin working together toward your Grand Opening.
